Discover the power of essential oils and flower essences to reduce anxiety and gently restore your confidence.

Start your day with a sense of balance and control by meditating and learn to write your own affirmations to endorse a feeling of self-worth and motivate positive changes. Gentle exercise regimes like pilates, yoga, chi gung and tai chi can ground and balance you.
Learn the life-affirming Salute to the Sun, and help your energy flow with simple chi kung postures like Standing Like a Tree. Brisk walking can change ones consciousness and reduce tendencies to depression, and walking with awareness can become a moving mediation in itself for those who struggle when sitting still. Learn to accept yourself for who you really are to discover real inner peace, and discover how to plan your day so it includes time doing the things that bring you real pleasure and fulfilment. Totally Relaxed is the ultimate gift for yourself or your loved ones - a gift of inner contentment and repose to help you through your busy life.
